Confessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur: Building a Business on Your Own Terms

Your intuition is talking to you all the time, through feelings, flashes of insight, dreams, even songs on the radio. It's time to start noticing.

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down what intuition is, why so many of us learn to shut it down, and the different ways it shows up. I cover all the clairs and more: clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairaudience, clairsentience (body sensations), smell, taste, dreams, and external signs.

I also share the moment in 2017 that became my turning point for trusting my own inner voice, and how that one decision changed the entire trajectory of my life.

In this episode I talk about:

• The subtle signs your intuition has been sending you (and why you might have missed them)
• How to reflect on past moments to identify your own intuitive language
• How to tell the difference between intuition and just anxious thinking
• Why the most successful work, content, decisions, and ideas often come from intuition rather than AI
• A personal update on heading into maternity leave and what's next for the show

Most couples spend months preparing for the baby...and almost no time preparing their relationship for what comes next.

Postpartum relationship coach Chelsea Skaggs joins Samantha to talk about the five biggest ways relationships shift after having a child, and what couples can do before and after baby arrives to stay connected.

Chelsea covers emotional disconnection, the mental load, intimacy, communication breakdowns, and identity — including why the term "matrescence" is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or just thinking about this chapter, this conversation gives you real language for things you might already be feeling.

What you’ll take away:

• A clearer understanding of how relationships shift after a baby
• Why communication can break down—and how to navigate it
• A new way to think about mental load and shared responsibility
• How to stay connected to your partner through a major life transition

Animal communication is real — and you're already doing it with your pet. Intuitive animal communicator Marissa joins Samantha to reveal what our animals are truly communicating through their behavior, emotions, and energy — and how every pet owner can tune in.

In this episode, we explore the spiritual and intuitive side of the human-animal bond, including what it means to have a "soul animal," how animal communication works remotely through telepathy, and what pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge most want their owners to know.

What you'll take away:

• A new perspective on how animals communicate beyond behavior
• How to release guilt and perfectionism as a pet owner
• The concept of soul animals and past-life connections with pets
• How to prepare your pet for big life changes like a new baby

I recently attended a women's wealth summit in Arizona and left with a completely different perspective on why so many spiritual entrepreneurs stay stuck in scarcity even when they're doing everything right.

This episode is that conversation. And I'm bringing something most people in this space don't have, a background in financial technology, payments, and blockchain. Money is energy isn't just spiritual. It's literally how capital moves.

In this episode:

• What a room full of VCs and investors taught me about the energy of receiving
• Why money blocks aren't a mindset problem, they're a fear problem
• The one question that allows you to receive more
• Why abundance affirmations alone don't work and what actually creates monetary flow
• How to know if you can genuinely hold the capacity for what you say you want
• My confession: the fear of judgment around how I make money and what releasing it changed

This is not financial advice. This is the money conversation most people aren't having (yet).

Awakening is the easy part—learning how to live it inside your business, your relationships, and your everyday decisions is where the real work spiritual work as an entrepreneur begins.

This conversation explores the tension so many entrepreneurs feel between ambition and alignment. On one hand, there’s the drive to build, grow, and succeed. On the other, there’s a quieter pull toward presence, intention, and something deeper beneath the surface.

In this episode, I sit down with Cari Jacobs-Crovetto to unpack what it takes to integrate a spiritual life with a business life. We talk about the reality of inner work alongside business growth, the moments that force you to slow down, and what begins to shift when you stop operating from your head.

If you’ve ever felt the push and pull between doing more and being more—this conversation will land.

What you’ll take away:

• A new perspective on balancing ambition with inner alignment
• Why slowing down can create more clarity and momentum
• How to begin moving out of autopilot and into intentional living
• A grounded look at integrating spirituality into everyday business decisions

I closed both of my communities. I let go of my marketing assistant. I restructured a live program mid-pregnancy. And somewhere in all of it... I felt more free than ever.

This is my honest confessional from second trimester as a pregnant entrepreneur: what I let go of, the emotional side of it, and what happened to my business when I stopped forcing a plan and started listening to my body instead.

And if you're not pregnant — this one's still for you. Because the real theme here is recalibration. What it looks like to release the things you built when they stop fitting, even when you can't fully explain why yet.

In this episode:

→ Why the "most energetic trimester" still required a full nervous system recalibration — and how I learned to tell the difference between aligned action and forced momentum

→ The two communities I closed, the marketing assistant I let go of, and the live launch I restructured mid-pregnancy — and why every single decision made my business lighter

→ The grief that came with letting go, even when you know it's right

→ Body comments, belly size insecurity, and what it actually taught me about other people's opinions (of your body and your business)

→ How to know when you're resting because you need it versus avoiding something you need to do

→ Rapid-fire second trimester tips for pregnant entrepreneurs: baby showers, maternity clothes that don't suck, nesting, skincare, and slowing down your mornings

The real insight from this trimester: when you stop forcing the strategy, something more aligned takes its place.

What if the children meant for you are already around—watching, waiting, and connected to your energy before you ever hold them? And what if the babies you've lost aren't gone at all?

I sit down with Mo, a psychic medium with the rare gift of drawing people's loved ones in spirit without ever seeing their photos. This episode is definitely an emotional one because we are exploring one of the most tender and profound topics in the spiritual world: spirit babies.

Mo shares how mediumship works, what spirit babies are (and the many forms they take), and why souls who've passed through miscarriage, abortion, or infant loss remain deeply connected to you.

And in a beautiful, unplanned moment, Mo shares intuitive messages for Samantha about her own spirit babies—including visions of children yet to come.

Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating loss, or simply curious about the unseen world around you, this conversation will shift how you think about intuition, spirit, and the souls we're meant to love.

You don't need to become a psychic medium to access your intuition—but after this episode, you'll understand how to start listening.

What You'll Learn:

• What spirit babies are and the different forms they can take—from children not yet born to those who have passed
• The spiritual perspective on miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, and infant loss
• Why our loved ones in spirit meet our babies before they're even born
• How pregnancy can unlock and strengthen your intuitive abilities
• The different types of psychic senses and how they show up
• Practical ways to connect with your own intuition
• How to set boundaries with your intuitive gifts and spiritual work

You've heard it a thousand times: set better boundaries. But what about the boundaries you can't see? The ones inside your own head, around the stories you tell yourself, or around your ability to actually receive the support you're desperately craving?

As I am nearing maternity leave, I want to pull back the curtain on three boundary breakdowns that showed up in my life recently—and what they revealed about how we actually protect our energy, creativity, and capacity to lead.

In this episode:

• The invisible boundary: recognizing when old fears are quietly running the show (and a practice for soothing them without pushing them away)
• Why receiving support feels harder than giving it—and what that resistance is really protecting
• The ask that sounds casual but isn't—and how to honor your expertise without guilt or apology

When the world feels heavy, it's time to reconnect to the lightness within. In this episode, Samantha offers a brief energy healing practice that you can experience anywhere - while working, driving, or lying down.

Through guided breathwork and visualization, you'll release tension, open your energy centers, and invite in the life force that runs through all living things.

What to expect:

• Guided breathwork to drop into your body
• Visualization to open energy centers in your palms and feet
• Connection to healing energy from your highest ancestors, angels, and guides
• A practice to release energetic dams and return to your truth

This is Samantha's offering to the greater good, a subtle yet powerful practice you can return to whenever you need it. While energy healing isn't her typical podcast content, she has a deep background in this work and believes that when we show up as our most energetic, authentic selves, we make the greatest impact.

If this practice supported you, please leave a rating or review and share it with someone who needs a little lightness today.

Thinking about kids while building a business? This is the conversation I wish I had before getting pregnant.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Caledonia Buckheit, a board-certified OB-GYN, to break down what you actually need to know about fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum — without fear, fluff, or internet myths.

We talk about how to think about family planning as an ambitious woman, when egg freezing actually makes sense, and what pregnancy and recovery really look like in your 30s.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s no clear roadmap for this phase of life — this episode will change that.

In this episode, we cover:

• The first question every OB-GYN asks when you’re thinking about kids
• When egg freezing is worth it (and when it’s not)
• What’s actually different about pregnancy in your 30s vs 20s
• How to optimize fertility for both you and your partner
• Why exercise during pregnancy is one of the most underused tools
• The truth about postpartum recovery (that no one prepares you for)
• How to build a real support system — especially as an entrepreneur
• The 18-month spacing rule and why it matters for your body
